FG sacks NIMASA boss, dissolves governing board of all federal paralstatals

The Federal government has sacked the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Patrick Ziakede Akpobolokemi. A statement by the Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina today July 16th, says Akpobolokemi's sack is with immediate effect.

In a related development, the governing board of all Federal paralstatals, agencies and institutions have been dissolved with effect from today July 16th.

A statement from Mr Adesina to this effect states that all issues concerning the federal parastatals, agencies and institution should be directed to the president
"Until the boards are reconstituted, Chief Executive Officers of the affected parastatals, agencies and institutions are to refer all matters requiring the attention of their boards to the President, through the Permanent Secretaries of their supervising ministries. While the dissolution does not affect Federal Executive Bodies listed in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it covers administrative or technical committees and other similar organs established by the now dissolved boards.”.

    Just my thoughts,feel free to correct me.
    Everyone is reporting to the president,he has no ministers or advicers. I can imagine what his pending file is like. Has he forgotten that he is 72 and has been out of practice for so long. He cannot hold a whole nation to Ransome cause he is witch-hunting his predecessor. Are there not better ways to handle the lapses in these agencies,instead of sacking with no replacement. I am worried for this nation. I guess Obama is the one who will finally give him the go-ahead on how to rule this country.

      Anonymous 19:37, I think I will disagree with you because, it can't be business as usual, a lot of things must change, if we maintain the regular, their will be regular result and what will need in this country right now is an holistic change. I salute the courage of the Mr. President and pray God will lead him right. God Bless Nigeria.

    Board dissolution is a welcome development. Good riddance to bad rubbish especially the University of benin teaching hospital board. Wish the federal government probes them all.

    It a welcome development, maybe now securing a job at nimasa and other government parastal will be transparent and straight forward and not the "if u no know top oga u no go see job" way they were using before.......

    All ministries and all federal parastatals are reporting to buhari. He is literally in control of every fucking thing. Who does that?? Most of you are busy saying he is cleaning up, but that's bullshit. Its just not right and I hope Nigerians start thinking outside the box. He has been in control of everything for almost two months. 'this is the money disappearing period' in my opinion

    It's understandable and expected that with every new government there is a dissolution of boards. But I feel concerned that without ministers, how much of the present issues can PMB handle personally? Or are they going to be replaced soon? I fear for these institution and parastatals without a board or a minister to regulate the activities of those in management
